Six am. What masochistic fool even got up for training that early? Hell, who got up that early period if they didn't have to?

Him, apparently.

Isamu yawned, strolling toward the barracks half-awake. He was lucky he'd even managed a small breakfast, so coffee had been out of the question. Hopefully a good exercise would wake him up a bit more. He wasn't even sure what he was supposed to be wearing to this thing, and he still didn't have much in his inventory to choose from, so he arrived in jeans and a t-shirt which was possibly not the best idea. At least they weren't his ripped jeans.

"S'up, Sensei?" he greeted the turtle blearily as he came into view.

"Guess you're at least a little bit older than me. It'd be even more weird if you were younger." As if the situation wasn't weird enough already. Talking turtle and all.

Isamu bowed back, even though it still felt awkward. "Yeah, it wasn't too bad."

"So I'll see ya Friday. Hopefully I'll get the place lookin' better by then."

He frowned at the dingy room, wishing he at least had mats. He'd have to recruit his brothers into making some before he started teaching throws, that's for sure. But that also meant bringing up the whole taking in a student thing to his brothers. It was inevitable, but he wasn't looking forward it.

Isamu just kind of smirked at the room. It definitely wasn't a traditional dojo, that was for sure.

"Should I expect Chateau de Tortue when I come back?"

"Uh..." That must've been French of something. Its meaning completely escaped him. "What?"

That caused Isamu to chuckle a bit. "I was just asking if you planned on giving it your own special flare."

"Oh." That what that meant? Well now he felt stupid. "Nah, I'll be happy just to get some mats in here. Think I'd rather avoid splatter paintin' the walls that way if I can help it."

It took a moment for Isamu to get what he meant, and he winced. "Mats would be a good idea, yeah."

He grunted something akin to amusement. "Well, I don't know about you, but I gotta go home and shower before work." Then headed for the door, turning and bowing to the dojo before walking out.

"Uh... okay. See you." Isamu has to take a moment to boggle at the mental image of a turtle in the shower before following Raphael out (mimicking the bow on the way).
